Coconut Bread – fail, oh darn.

Bread is getting expensive these days.  No more of those 15 cents for 2 buns type deal, which was what it was like way back in the 50′s in Hong Kong.  But anyways, even in A2 because there’s only this one monopoly Asian superstore (HuaXing), Asian delicacies and commodities are getting a tad expensive. So we decide that of course, we can make cheaper coconut bread that would satiate our Asian bun cravings..

So when I came home from work, the dough was rising…

and the flour is all pretty like the snow outside, waiting patiently…

the most basic of ingredients for bread

and then we rolled the bread.. mine were especially chubby for some odd reason… and then wait wait to re-fluff/dough rises some more – which I’m afraid didn’t quite happen..?  Ha.

then stuck it into the oven for 20 minutes @ 360 degrees.. and

final product: coconut bread

and Gah! Dry, crispy hard, really dry coconut stuffing… dry………. o_O  I guess we’re not quite there yet haha.  It was probably at 30% success so maybe we will still have to go broke buying bread from the local Asian store for a while longer… a long while longer haha.
